Collision Earth - Game Over

Well that's an hour and half of my life I won't get back. Eric Roberts must have had bills to pay... 2/10, and that's because I'm in a good mood

Thats what you get when you let a comedian write a screenplay and a lampoperator do the directing.

In parts I laughed, especially at the editing errors that included repetition and an amusing stand up and then stand up again!

Also funny were the shouted warnings just before meteors hit - some amazing ability to predict the unpredictable!

The effects are mostly awful and there is some pretty bad acting, the real rotten tomato going to John Morrisey as General Ambrose. The former film editor should quickly return to behind the camera as his performance could at best be described as wooden.

Several of those on screen try hard but this remake of the also awful 2011 version should never had made it to the screen. Even in lockdown for the coronavirus crisis, I could only sit through this whilst responding to my emails.

Only watch for a laugh!

If these guys could get financing for this, then there is hope for us all. The IMB website ask me does this contain spoilers, well yes it does. Don't waste your time. That the best spoiler I can think off.

This movie was bad, even for a movie from The Asylum.

Granted, when I sat down to watch the 2020 movie "Collision Earth", I must admit that I didn't really have much of any expectations or hopes for the movie. I mean, it is a natural disaster movie with Eric Roberts. Not exactly the recipe for a guaranteed success.

But still, I sat down to watch the movie, because I hadn't seen it before, plus once in a blue moon an enjoyable natural disaster movie comes along. Turns out that "Collision Earth" wasn't one such movie.

The storyline was as generic and predictable as it was stupid and unrealistic. You knew right away what would transpire in the movie, and you knew exactly how the movie would end. Yup, another generic Earth-is-in-dire-peril-but-miraculously-gets-saved-by-a-small-band-of-people type of movie. It was just despicable.

And yeah, this was also one of those disaster movies where you sit in awe and dumbfounded stupor wondering how come so many asteroid impacts happen within such close vicinity of the small group of people. It is like the asteroids were singling them out individually. It was just stupid.

The special effects in the movie were bland. They were serving the movie well enough, but they were not overly realistic or believable. But hey, at least they helped to show what was going on.

Not to mention the laughable ending of the movie, which you already knew to happen as the movie started.

I am rating "Collision Earth" a mere two out of ten stars. If you enjoy natural disaster movies, do yourself a favor and avoid this movie from writer Joe Roche and director Matthew Boda
